Brings the memory back. When I was younger in the 90's (I'm coaches age plus a couple), once a week in the off season I would ride to work (10 miles slight downhill) doing one legged drills. Every city block I switched legs and tried to make them as smooth as possible. Then when I bring them together the bike flew. I credited this work to me beating a lot of racers that were technically stronger than me.

Thank you, that was very interesting. I am 69 years old and have just resurrected my hybrid bike from the shed. Your video reminded me of something I read decades ago about pedalling technique and, in It, the author said that you should flex your ankle in such a way that you are constantly turning the pedals and not just pushing down all the time and losing the power at 6’o clock and 12’o clock. So this was constant pressure on the pedals throughout and made some sort of sense at the time. So what you are essentially saying is to develop the power in the sweep at the bottom and backwards, allowing the momentum at the top and forward, in which the leg has a rest stroke, ready to take up the power in the sweep at and from the bottom. All of this is also optimised with developing the cadence. It seems to me that this creates a kind of pulse in the drive of the crank and I am looking forward to trying this. In describing what I read in the past I am not suggesting doubt in what you say, but, but merely checking my understanding of it with you. Thanks for posting this video.
@BulletproofCycling2 жыл бұрын
The peak torque angle will generally always fall around 100-120 degrees for most road cyclists. So this will always be greater than the sweep phase but you are always trying to increase the activation of the pedal stroke to generate more effective force. You can have high peak torque but little sweep (eg climbing when standing. Effective for periods but not for all riders.) so the sweep uses that peak torque and spreads it through sweep. Thus better momentum equals (in theory) better efficiency etc. flexing ankle is something I do but it’s hard to explain in video but I am doing new videos so will defo try. Thanks for getting involved in the channel. I have lots to share but never easy to put in a video 👍👍👍

This is the best bit of advice I have seen, tried this on my ride to work this morning which is my 5th commute ride since the pandemic, wind in the same direction being a tailwind to work, 10.2 miles total ascent of 120m. Before getting on the bike this morning I felt tired, set off and concentrated hard on the feeling off dragging my foot through the power cycle instead of pushing down. I could see and feel the extra speed I was gaining, at 80 rpm cadence I could feel my foot floating over the top in the pedal cycle as the over one was on the power , I noticed that I was accelerating faster, my legs felt as if the were floating. my previous commuter rides this week have been around 45 mins long this one was just over 40 mins on my 12 kg gravel bike with slicks. Looking forward to getting on my Road rocket. It works! thanks Scott for helping me to pedal more efficiently 🙂.

To this day I still remember that every time I ride - just more slowly. Interestingly, I find riding a MTB with flat pedals probably the closest to that feeling. If you get it wrong it's not great on a power front.

Studies on this subject suggests that there are no performance gains from pedalling with a certain technique other than applying force at the downstroke, even though it might feel as though it does. Dylan Johnson made a great video on this, citing various studies.
@BulletproofCycling2 жыл бұрын
I have been involved in many studies and I am always 100% behind research but I can assure you that for every research study that is positive there is another one that is negative. I am fortunate to work with Shimano and have their 3D crank measure device so I can measure effective force through different cleat positions and pedal stroke actions. Everyone is unique of course and I have seen all types of fast and slow twitch fibre type riders. This action will help pedal when in steady state and can smooth out the stroke but my main point is always to improve nervous control, improve ankle stability. Pedalling is a skill and can be improved. I am finding now that KZbin is a snap shot and only really reflective of how good you are at making videos (which I am shit at and appreciate that fact) But I still reckon I am a pretty good coach. Hope this helps - maybe one day I’ll work out better videos 👍👍👍

Hi Coach! I'm 66 and rode my first road race in 1970 at age 14. Began riding at 5. Anyway, my question involves riding rollers, which I have done since about the same time as I started racing, as I recall. I found that riding rollers forced me to smooth out my stroke, because rollers had very little resistance, unlike most of those available nowadays. To get a workout, I would ride at about 120 rpm in the 100" gear (52-14 was often the high back then). At that RPM, if you don't "float" you are very uncomfortable. You also quickly discover if your saddle position isn't optimal. It takes a while to find what is right, but you surely know when you haven't found it and it feels amazing when you do. I was a bit older when I built my own set of rollers of wood. Each had 23 3/4-inch-thick slices cut out with a bandsaw and glued up like plywood with the grain at 90 degrees from the previous disk. Then turned them smooth on a lathe and varnished with several thin coats. They worked great and lasted, too. I rode those when the series "Roots" was on network TV, the winter of 1977. I would float during the show, then sprint during commercial breaks--about 5 minutes every 15 minutes or so for that show, if I remember. One hour per episode for half of the episodes and two hours for the other half. I found that when I sprinted, somewhere between 130-135 rpm would be a rough spot, but when I got above that (only took a second or two), it smoothed right out again, and I could keep that 140 or so up for the five minutes. Although I was never very strong at 6' 1" and 150# (a bit over 185 cm and 10 stone 10 or 68 kg), I developed a pretty good road sprint due to my ability to spin up my rpms to a high rate. I could climb very well. I also rode track. I trained on the road with a 67" (42-16) to 81" (42-14) fixed gear, which forced a similar benefit, especially downhill or downwind. Although "fixies" have become a thing in the last couple of decades among the hipsters, I hear very little about training on fixed gear or rollers these days. Trainers are popular, but they don't feel like a bike on the road, and you can have terrible form while riding them without a chance of crashing, so they don't smooth your stroke like rollers. I also find that, although many current serious riders are smooth without using rollers or fixed gears, the majority now are not as smooth as the majority of riders were back then. Any thoughts on why those practices that seemed to work so well back in the day have become passé?

I have to thank Al Go Rhythm for introducing me to your channel. This is the first of your videos that I've seen. Even though it's and oldie, I think it's a goodie. I subscribed and am looking forward to more of your coaching. 😎 I have been teaching folks to pedal squares at first, to link all the muscle groups to the brain. Then after lots of practice, start to blend the movements by "cutting" off the 4 corners of the movements. Then after more practice cutting off the 8 corners of the octagon, and so on. I was teaching, press down,(mashing) smear back and up, (Lemond's smear the mud off of the shoe) flex the hip flexors to help raise the lazy leg, (not "pull up.") then extend over the top, (like kicking a football.) and mash again. Rinse and repeat... I think that I've been overthinking it and certainly making it overly complicated to teach those who are just starting to focus on high speed, smooth cadence work. I like your technique as it seems easier to grasp and is more intuitive. I will focus on what I call smear and flex and see how that goes. I think that its pretty much what you are teaching here. What are your thoughts on the importance of activating the hip flexors and then using the quad extensors to help round out the efforts of the hamstrings and calve muscles for efficient average power to the pedals? I like the clarity of your technique over my complicated technique. Cheers, ct

First cord or two, I thought we were going to have Baba O'Reilly. I love The Who and Blondie when on exercise bike or, when I had them through bone-phones on outdoor bike. Blondie drummer tried to play like Keith Moon

There are so many ways to pedal! Francesco Moser would pedal 4 strokes at full power and then totally relax one leg, four strokes and relax the other leg (track cycling). I tried to perfect this - found it impossible! Relaxing one leg, he claimed, allowed blood to flow freely every fourth stroke.

@Kinetic Cycle I harken back to a time I rode 220 miles per week while holding down a full time job. At 68 I'm just an old fart...but an old fart who knows a little about bicycling. ( I may check out your latest video, but solely for intellectual pursuits)

Recently get into this sweeping motion unconsciously, I thought it was wrong cause it's feel so light, mainly use it when I found myself battling with the win
